Swatragh GAC

Michael Davitt's GAC Swatragh (Irish: CLG Míceal Mhic Dhaíbheid Suaitreach) is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Swatragh, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The club is a member of the Derry GAA and currently caters for Gaelic football, hurling and camogie. The club is named after Irish patriot and revolutionary Michael Davitt.

Swatragh fields Gaelic football and Hurling teams at U8, U10, U12, U14, U16, Minor, Reserve, Thirds and Senior levels. There are also camogie teams across similar age groups. Current club chairman is long-time GAA servant, Willie Turner.

History

In 1946 John McCormack proposed the idea of forming a Gaelic football club in Swatragh. Other founder members included Patsy Collins, Jim McMullan, John Eddie Friel and James McGurk. They choose to name the club after Michael Davitt, because he had given Irish Land League speeches in Swatragh in the late 19th century. It also marked 100 years since Davitt's birth. The club colours were initially red and white, but in 1949 the present green and white colours were adopted.

    Starquake

    by: Mandragora Scream

    Bertini/Bucci
    In a savourin' senses' worns
    Lovin' the love of death
    you can take me away
    with no life to nowhere
    In my dark waitin' hell
    In the land of the night-shades
    you can change my desires
    and my dark Fairy-Tales
    Now I'm goin' to bounds
    of the reason of my life
    and its starry of falls
    dreamin' my soothsaying'...
    Down, now I'm fallin' in your mind...
    Callin', callin' vision in your head,
    It's so hard to be strong
    and standin' in your place
    Call your faith..!
    In a savourin' senses worns
    in the land of the Night-Shades
    you can change my desires
    with no life to nowhere
    In my dark waitin' hell
    In the land of the starquake...
    you can make all the Spells...
    to reach your Lightnin' Tales
    Now I'm walkin' across
    through the river of passion...
    ravin' down in your head
    your prayers
    Down, now I'm fallin' in your mind...
    Callin', callin' vision in your head, It's so hard to be strong
    and standin' in your place again...
    Call your faith!
    Callin', callin' vision in your mind,
    It's so hard to be strong
    Callin'
